Each year, the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network honors founders and startups with an award named for the late Holce, a prominent entrepreneur and savvy investor. Hundreds of the state’s founders, investors and other startup and small business types gather annually for the event, which takes place this year Oct. 24 at the Oregon Convention Center.

In addition to the founder and company honors, the event will feature a “Game Changer Award,” given to a non-profit or social enterprise. A student entrepreneur will also be selected for the Battle of the Schools award that honors the legacy of Wyatt Starnes, founder of CignaCert and co-founder of Tripwire.
